The purpose of this study was to investigate the proper feeding level and duration of fermented barley grain feed before harvesting to improve the availability of barley for feed. Trial 1 was to investigate the proper feeding amount of fermented barley grain fermented feed, and we prepared 32 heads (603.4 ± 42.7kg) of 22-month-old Hanwoo steer (603.4 ± 42.7kg) for 8 heads in 4 treatment groups. 48 heads (625.8 ± 13.1kg) for Trial 2 were used for 12heads per 4 treatments, and were reared for about 9 months until 30 months of age. Trial 1 is treated a Control group that feed 10㎏ of concentrate, replaces 10% fermented barley grain feed(FBGF) of the control by (TRT 1) and 20% (TRT 2) and 30%(TRT 3). Concentrate and FBGF fed 9, 2.1 kg, 8, 4.2 kg, 7 and 7, 6.3 kg on each treatments respectively and 1.5 kg of rice straw for forage. In Trial 2, 10% of alternative diets were judged to be appropriate, and the control of 9kg of diets and barley grain fermented feeds were used to determine the appropriate feeding period. The treatments were 3 months before shipment (TRT 1), 6 months (TRT 2) and 9 months (TRT32). Each treatment group had 8 and 2.1 kg of concentrate and barley grain fermentation, respectively. As a feed, rice straw was fed to 1.5 kg. The daily gains per treatment were higher in TRT 1 and TRT 3 was similar to the Control. Body weight and daily gain during the test period were higher in TRT 1 fed 10% barley grain fermented feed. TRT 2 was the highest at 6.13, and TRT 3 was 6.0, which was higher than 5.63 of TRT 1 and 5.5 of Control.

본 연구는 한우 번식우에 있어서 영양대사물질 분석을 통하여 영양수준을 구명하여 번식우의 수태율 개선을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위해서 실시하였다. 번식우의 정확한 영양수준 분석을 위해서 사료급여량을 80%, 100%, 120%로 구분하여 사양관리를 실시한 결과 Cholesterol과 BUN 농도가 120% 급여구에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 방목우 중에서 임신우와 비임신우의 영양대사물질 수준 분석 결과, Cholesterol, AST, NEFA 농도가 임신우에 비해 비임신우에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 이와 같이 임신과 관련한 영양수준 분석에 Cholesterol, AST, NEFA 의 3가지 항목을 설정하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 방목과 사사 사육에 대한 결과 분석에서 Glucose 농도는 방목우 84.8, 비방목우 56.0 mg/dl 으로서 방목우에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 보였고(p<0.05), Cholesterol 수준은 방목우에서 142.5 mg/dl로서 사사 사육 128.9 mg/dl 보다 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05), ALT(34.4 vs 27.1 IU/l)와 NEFA 농도(317.8 vs 160.2 ЧEq/l) 역시 방목우에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로, 암소에 사료 급여시 Cholesterol, ALT, NEFA 수준을 낮출 수 있도록 하는 것이 한우 암소의 수태율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Serum metabolites were analyzed to investigate relationship of pregnancy and non-pregnancy Hanwoo cows. Totally, 251 Hanwoo cows were used in the present study. Grazing was carried out for 5 months in the pasture. In barn feeding, concentrate 3.0 Kg (TDN 68%, CP 14%) and rice straw 6 kg(TDN 50%, CP 6.5%) were fed. For artificial insemination (AI), progesterone-supplying device (CIDR) was introduced to vagina of Hanwoo cows and 2.0 mL of GnRH. One week after introduction, CIDR was removed and 5.0 mL of PGF2α was injected intramuscularly. After 2.5 day, AI was accompanied by a 2 mL of GnRH intramuscular injection and a second AI was carried out 3.5 day. The pregnancy diagnosis was confirmed by rectal palpation about 90 days after AI. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein after 3 hours of feeding. Analysis of serum metabolites was performed on six types of metabolites: glucose(mg/dl), cholesterol(mg/mL), BUN(mg/dl), AST(U/L), ALT(U/l), and nonessterified fatty acids(NEFA, uEq/L). The metabolic profile test was analyzed by analyzer (Hitachi, 7020, Japan). Pregnant and non-pregnant groups showed serum metabolites as follows. In 60 pregnant group: Glucose 88.9 ± 2.5, Cholesterol 149.8 ± 4.9, BUN 16.9 ± 0.4, AST 99.1 ± 2.6, ALT 35.9 ± 0.9 and NEFA 326.7 ± 15.7. In 43 non-pregnant cow group: Glucose 89.2 ± 3.3, Cholesterol 165.9 ± 4.6, BUN 17.4 ± 0.6, AST 108.9 ± 0.6, ALT 37.8 ± 1.0 and NEFA 419.2 ± 32.8. Cholesterol, AST and NEFA levels in non-pregnant cows were significantly higher than those in pregnant cows (P<0.05). In sum of grazing and barn feeding group was totally 148 cows. Seventy nine pregnant cows showed high glucose and low NEFA levels compared to 69 non-pregnant cows (P<0.05). In conclusion, pregnant group showed high level of glucose and low level of cholesterol, NEFA. Further study needed to obtain more accurate level of metabolites in serum for pregnant and non-pregnant cows.
